Good Movie... Some Pointers

Overall it was a good movie, but I want to point out a few things: first there are more than a few sex scenes. Second slavery was used in the movie, she gets shot and was beaten. Third there are MANY violent scenes... but it IS a James Bond movie. And this is the first James Bond movie where there was so much swearing, I was so surprised!! As I said I really like this movie but I wouldn't let my younger sister see it.

Great film but some sexual content.

First off, this is a great movie. Out of the three Daniel Craig bond movies this is definitely the best of the three. I was a pretty big fan Casino Royale but for me Quantum of Solace was a pretty big let down. Thankfully, Skyfall is better than both. The film had a excellent opening and very intense and fun to watch action sequences throughout. This really was a big treat for me. Although, that does not mean this is a family movie because it is not at all. Let's start with one of the most iconic things about James Bond: The Sexual Innuendo. This film had two brief but pretty racy sex scenes. One was about 5 seconds while the other was a good 15-20 seconds. Yes, they were brief but they were not innocent. Also one scene felt as if the villain was acting gay with Bond. It was played for humor but it was creepy. Also some language is abound. S*** was used 4-5 times and CSM says F*** was used but honestly, I never heard it. So I'm really not sure but if I could not hear it, it probably does not matter too much. And of course, there was violence but it was never too intense and it was just fun to watch. Yes, this is a great film but some brief and intense sexual content makes it a movie for teens and up.

Awesome movie with tons of action.

Skyfall is a great spy movie with non-stop action and a good story. Anyone who likes action and is older than 10 years old should see it, but it might be too ify for younger kids. Lots of people get shot, there is some sex, f--- and c--k are both said and every other word is bloody so no one under ten should see it. I highly reccomend this movie to teenagers and adults. P.S. if you wont let your kids see this try the bourne legacy, it is similar to skyfall but not as innapropriate.

Think On Your Sins

Skyfall is the latest addition to the Bond series and delivers. Daniel Craig is great, as is Judi Dench. Perfect cinematography and direction. Although, the plot is a bit overdone already. Contains some language and a fair amount of violence but nothing a twelve year old cannot handle. A-.

wonderful movie!

oh my goodness!!! i loved this movie so much. daniel craig is a wonderful james bond, there is no doubt. the other actors and actresses are great also. there is a lot of shooting and normal action/fighting. there's some innuendo and flirting, along with a shower scene and another very short sex scene. no graphic nudity, just mostly bare backs. bond likes his alcohol, and one of the lead females smokes. there's some cussing, like "b----" "s---" and other mild words, but it's fairly infrequent. great movie! bond sets a good example of bravery and being a hero.

Bond is back!

Lots of buzz has been surrounding this particular new 007 movie, the 23rd rendition in the Bond franchise, so don't be surprised if your kids or teens will be asking you to take them to see the latest installment. Of course, with this being a Bond movie, there is plenty of violence involving gunfire, stabbings, stranglings, off-screen animals eating humans, and a (POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT!) scene in which Bond sticks a knife through his chest to remove bullets which are inside of him. Also, with every Bond movie - there are sexual scenes such as kissing and making out and suggested sexual intercourse, as well as women is somewhat skimpy clothing and some mild flirting as well - and this installment is no different - but it doesn't focus nearly as much on sexuality as say... Casino Royale did. The main villain is suggested to be homosexual as some may think in a particular scene that he's flirting with James in a way. Language isn't too strong, but there is one use of the f-bomb, a few uses of the s-word, b*tch, c*ck, "bloody" as an British term and more - swearing is somewhat frequent compared to the older Bond films, but swearing is pretty infrequent in this one, as well. Products seen or referenced include Sony Vaio computer, several older car brands, etc. There is one drinking scene in which Bond takes a few shots in a bar and supposedly is drunk afterwards - but the movie focuses on the negative consequences of drinking as CS mentions. One of the females Bond has a tension with is seen with a cigarette in her hand several times. Overall, Skyfall is an action-packed Bond movie - it's slightly different than what we're used to seeing, but this one has plenty of memorable great action scenes, a great villain, and a sense of humor at times, as well. So when your kids ask you if you'll take them to Skyfall, make sure they're at least 13 so they can get something out of it - the content isn't too strong, but it is a Bond movie, so there's plenty of violence, sex, drinking, etc. But 13 and over should be just right for this Bond.

Loved it, loved it, loved it!

The movie was excellent. It was my first time watching a James Bond, and I loved it! I don't feel that it would deter anyone above the age of 12-13. There were some very suggestive scenes, about as far as you can take it without an R rating. All in all a great movie for those starting the Bond experience!

Skyfall

Skyfall is 10 times better than Quantum of Solace was, but it wasn't better than Casino Royale. Skyfall is a great ode to 50 years in the franchise, but it definetly not the best bond yet. Yes, there is violence, but not as much as they previous installments. The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Hunger Games had a lot more violence than this.

One of the best Bond movies, and for me Daniel Craig's best outing,

I have a fondness for James Bond and for most of the movies. My favourite Bond is Sean Connery and my personal favourite Bond film is Goldfinger. To cut to the chase I do like Daniel Craig as Bond, he is very charismatic and has truly magnetic eyes. Skyfall for me is his best outing, I liked Casino Royale and didn't care at all for Quantum of Solace, and one of the best of the series. Craig himself is spot on, both of the qualities I mentioned are here, and he brings to the role charm and sophistication yet ruthlessness and grit, paying homage to all the Bonds before him. Craig is not the only actor in the cast who impresses. Albert Finney is always watchable and here is no exception, and Naomie Harris is very alluring. It was nice to see Ralph Fiennes too, who I've always liked and in recent years I have wished that there were roles that played to his strengths rather than waste them and thankfully his performance displays the former.

Great Action flick with an engaging storyline

Skyfall is a great action film. When there isn’t action the drama kicks in an even that is very engaging and even superb at times. The acting, stunts, music, editing, and storyline are just some of the highlights of the movie. On the down side the middle is a little slow and there are two or three suggestive scenes.There is some language as well but it is infrequent and includes about fifteen profanities including one use of the f-word. Overall it’s a very entertaining violent movie that I recommend for ages 14+.

007 returns!

Skyfall is action packed and i had a blast, though you should kno of the violence,sex, and brief drugs. 1.a man is shot in the chest and falls of a train on a bridge into the water.2.a man digs shrapnel out of his gun wound with a knife(not as gross as it sounds).3.A woman is shot in the head.(this part is sad but not shown)4.The villain is a spy gone bad who can do anything he wants,such as blow up a building.5.Bond has sexual encounters with a woman nothing shown. 6. The villain (a guy) almost seems to flirt with bond.
this bond movie is awesome and was way better than casino royale! see it now!

Skyfall Review.

Skyfall is amazing. A really good film, whether you are a Bond lover or not. I would definetley say children could watch it. It is a 12A, and if you do allow younger children to watch it, you may need to talk to them about the content of the film, as it may not be suitable for all children. I would reccomend you to watch it with your friends or older children. There is a part when the baddie removes his cheek implant, which make him look a bit scary and James Bond also stabs himself, so that might be a bit frightening for younger children. There are five topless scenes and two passionate kissing scenes, which is unsuitable for younger children, but I'm sure if you speak to them about it, they will not be too affected by it. Hope I've helped. You should deffo watch it. I've watched it twice, I love it so much. I'm 13, by the way.
